What is TIDAS?
A PaaS that captures bench data from DAQ/PLCs, secures it with Zero Trust, and shares only what’s needed—safely.
Where does it fit?
Edge collectors near instruments → secure overlay → TIDAS projects for analysis & governed sharing.
Does it replace SCADA/historians?
No. It complements them—TIDAS is the secure integration, curation, and sharing layer.
Can we keep benches air-gapped?
Yes. Operate offline; sync approved datasets via controlled, audited paths.
Supported sources/protocols?
DAQ modules, PLCs, gateways; Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC UA (via gateways), and modern message buses at the edge.
How is access controlled?
Per-user/service identity, MFA, least-privilege roles, time-boxed access—no open ports.
Can we stream high-rate signals?
Yes. Buffer at edge, down-sample for analysis; retain raw bursts locally.
Data integrity & audit?
Signed/hashed runs, immutable logs, versioned datasets, full access trails.
Compliance alignment (e.g., IEC 62443)?
Segmentation, authenticated data paths, role-based access, tamper-evident logging.
Vendor collaboration without risk?
Scoped identities, read-only views, time-bound access, full session audit.
From bench to pilot fast?
Promote the same collectors, policies, and data contracts—no re-plumbing.
Protecting IP when sharing?
Redactions & aggregates by default; watermarking & download controls for exports.
Deployment pattern?
Edge → Zero Trust overlay → TIDAS (projects, policies, governance).
SIEM/SOC integration?
Forward security events & run metadata for correlation and incident response.
Failure isolation?
If analytics fail, benches keep running; data queues locally until recovery.

Meet TIDAS (Technology Integration for Data Acquisition & Security)—a PaaS that captures signals from DAQ/PLCs, applies Zero Trust, and shares only what you intend to share.
Why engineers & cyber teams use TIDAS:
- Plug into benches: Edge collectors → secure overlay → governed TIDAS projects.
- No rip-and-replace: Complements SCADA/historians; acts as your integration & sharing layer.
- Air-gap friendly: Work offline; sync only approved datasets via audited paths.
- Identity-first security: MFA, least-privilege roles, time-boxed access—no open ports.
- High-rate ready: Edge buffering + smart down-sampling; raw bursts can stay local.
- Provable integrity: Signed runs, immutable logs, versioned datasets.
- Compliance-aligned: Segmentation, authenticated paths, tamper-evident trails (IEC 62443 mindset).
- Safe vendor collab: Read-only views, scoped identities, full audit.
- Bench → Pilot fast: Promote collectors, policies, and data contracts as-is.
